Investigation into death of water authority worker to continue

An investigation into the death of a Water and Sewerage Authority worker will continue today.

The man, who has not yet been named, was killed in Peel yesterday after a wall collapsed.

He had been excavating to replace a supply pipe near to the former Creg Malin Hotel when the incident happened.

Emergency services and health and safety officials spent much of yesterday on scene - the chairman, vice chairman and chief executive of the organisation also visited the scene to offer support to the workforce.

The victim's name won't be released until his next of kin have been notified.
